Re: Getting ready to replace GPs

The problem is, one false move and he will break off a GP tip and have to pull the heads. Since he does not sound like the most mechanically proficient, I feel it is better to follow the safer course of action. With each piston all the way up, even if a tip DOES break off, there is a chance of retrieval without head removal.

If Pigseye doesn't know how to turn the engine, what are the chances he can remove the heads himself without hiring the work out?

Stay safe, Mr. Pigseye.
